Financial Aid Deadlines
The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) should be submitted at least three months before the term for which you are applying. Completing your taxes before filing the FAFSA can help ensure accuracy and faster processing. While you may submit the FAFSA closer to your start date, doing so may delay the review of your financial aid package.
Be sure to include UWS’ school code of 012309 so your FAFSA results are sent directly to our Office of Financial Aid.
Learn more about financial aid at UWS.
International Applicants
International applicants are encouraged to complete the admissions process as early as possible to allow sufficient time for visa processing. Visit our International Students page for additional information.
